My god, the difficulty in this game is all over the place. Some missions are easy as pie, some are hards as nails. The original Roland campaign had only one really difficult mission though, the one that starts in a swampy part of a peninsula and you are basically forced to roll the perk that lets you travel faster on bad terrain, otherwise you are screwed. Also, losing first city is an instagameover. You are constantly attacked by necromancers who spam death spells. Not really hard in a proper way, more like a luck based mission. Hate those kind of missions. Final one was all about logistics and moving tens of support heroes back and forth. Meh. Also, I'm playing without sound so I couln't understand the plot if there was any. Addons take difficulty bulls-t further to the Dark Souls level. It's easy, then hard, then easy, then 200 BONE DRAGONS LOL HAVE FUNZ. And time limit of 4 months!

People still cant play l4d2,the basic concept of game is stick together fuckers,but nooo people don?t do that fuckers bloody fuckers

I played a lot of pub campaigns back in the day and never had much problem with it. If some 'tard wants to be all pro and runs ahead just let him die, he'll learn*. If someone is dragging behind wait for them. Chill out brah.

* - note: he will not actually learn, will blame you and the team(which is amusing) and leave so the AI will take over and the AI will follow you like a sheep so that's fine.

While I do find your statements questionable, give Gal Civ 2 a shot. The AI is interesting enough that you get a lot of interesting things. Like one AI intentionally sabotaging itself and its allies to keep you alive so that peace won't last long enough for one of the other AIs to win.

The diplomacy in Shogun 2 and FOTS is excellent as well, transparent, varied and rational. Combined with strong AI, brilliant agent mechanics and lite RPG character development I enjoyed the campaign map more than the battles. Best political intrigue simulator I've played in terms of trade off between accessibility and depth if you want to invest in that sort of thing.

Won half of my empire without invading anywhere through judicious use of religion, bribery, arranged marriages, assassinations and playing people off against each other, but the really satisfying part was that everyone else was trying it too, map was always changing. If Rome II can do all that just with a different context I'll be totally enamoured.

But yeah, for all Shogun II's battlefield prettiness-and it is very pretty and the most polished and accomplished battlefield simulation in any point of the series so far, including in terms of AI-the best bit is the diplomacy and faction AI, so if you're into playing politics I highly highly recommend playing it just for that.

Been reliving old memories with the ever excellent Star Wars; Knights of the Old Republic on the iPad, a surprisingly great experience on account that mobile gaming has never really struck a chord with me. But KOTOR remains as refined as it ever was, shame the sequel won't get ported...

Oh aye! Runs pretty smoothly (and actually feels more optimised for than the steam version! If you discount the lack of AA, yeah surprised me too, XCOM available for it aswell and its supposedly quite good.

I finally finished my Classic Ironman run in Xcom. There is a critical point were the game gets way easier. I found it really difficult till I got laser weapons. With Plasma and High level snipers the game was even easy... My usual team: one support, one assault with ghost armor, two heavies, two snipers (one with archangel armor and squadsight, the other in ghost armor and the skill to move and shoot.

I had to restart the last level due to an horrible bug which prevented me from going trough the last door. I had to kill all my team with the Psychic nova + rocket.

For the last room. I am glad someone gave me some tip before entering you (the tip was: you only have to kill the Overlord, not the others ) could pretty well have finish quite badly... 2 of my men went berserk, my heavy got controled and she was still heavily armed... I already had my second heavy in coma from a previous encounter... Luckily Ouija and Rage;, my psychic support and my amazing assault were still ok... I poped the cloak and went directly for the boss... two shots at close range and a psychic nova and it was over. (and Rage took 12 damage in the process... oh well he can take it.)

Googling most immersive pc games and of course people are including STALKER series but i noticed allot of people are also saying they can't get in to the game,that ai is really bad,game is really hard and someone also suggested to get tutorial haha,for stalker games..Excuse me did people really became such pussises when in comes to games..

Still Thomas Was Alone. Bloody difficult (for me), but still really cheerful even when the poor little polygons are dying horribly. The characters, the central mystery and the beautiful graphics really make the game, along with good controls (when you die horribly it's your fault).

Don't Starve
Played some more and died on the second day of Winter. Currently on hold but I can see myself coming back to it in the near future.

They Bleed Pixels
Currently at Stage 4.3 which should be the last level. Nice combat and good controls. Definitely enjoying it. Quiet hard sometimes but maybe not as hard as Super Meat Boy ( I quit playing SMB at Hell Dark World half way through). Somehow I stopped playing just in the beginning some months ago. Seems it is better taking a pause between platformers (played through Cavestory before) so that it is easier getting used to new movement physics.

I love that game. The voice acting and idea behind it leaves me a permanent face of :D while I play.

I for one am obsessed with Saints Row 3 at the moment. Have spent hours buying all properties and completing all activities in Steelport. I think the only one I dislike is the panda skydiving, but even that is pretty awesome. Just completed the Gang Bang mission, where STAG show up. What fun!

I stopped halfway (?) through the game, the main reason being that the puzzle part comes down to sorting through your various characters to climb an obstacle over and over again, often requiring you to use the exact same "sequence" multiple times. Does this get any better later on?

I'm still only in world six out of nine or ten (I think). At the moment, I would say that that was an issue in world four and not since then, but I'm guessing that it will come up again to some degree. Not to be too spoilery, but the band's likely to get back together. Characters introduced later move differently, which will probably help with what you're talking about.

Zodiac tournament was rather short, even for a DLC (less than an hour). Which is a shame, because it's doing very nice things with sleeping dogs (great) melee system.

The whole 'Enter the Dragon' vibe was great, wouldn't have minded a bit more of it! Actually I enjoy Sleeping Dogs' combat far more than the two Arkhams which are quite similar. I don't know whether it's the kung fu or the lack of a perpetual combo meter but I like Sleeping Dogs better.

Kerbal Space Program. What a joy! I've landed my first manned mission to the Mun late last night, and am looking forward to building on that 'success'. Next I'll attempt to get a more permanent rover onto the Mun's surface, which I realise is a bit of a reversal of the real world order of things, but there you go.
